Galley Head

Galley Head Lightkeepers' Houses, West Cork

And then suddenly it was white, as white as if a window had opened on to a blanket of snow. A belt of light crossed the landscape in a giant arc, washing brightness over the road.. we saw her Galley Head, her huge burning bulbs in the distance guiding us home.

Clomantagh Castle

Clomantagh Castle, Co.Kilkenny.

What a place - a little bit of the old world, but with Central Heating! If there's a ghost here, it's very welcoming. Lovely gathering of friends in a calm, peaceful atmosphere. We'll be back.

Blackhead Lightkeepers House

Blackhead Lightkeepers' Houses, Co.Antrim

A wonderful place - love the morning sun from the bedroom window - didn't even have to get out of bed to see the wonderful sunrise. I am sad to leave this beautiful place.

Barbican Gatelodge

Barbican Gatelodge, Co. Antrim

Tremendous time we have been to all continents and more countries than we can remember, and The Barbican is without doubt one of the most magical places we have ever stayed in. It is a calm oasis and great retreat.. it has been the highlight of our trip.

Wonderful house in a lovely part of the world. Edwardian charm and comfort on the shores on Lough Neagh, hope to return again soon to the magic and mystery of Ballealy cottage.

Annes Grove Gatelodge

Annes Grove Gatelodge, Co.Cork

What more can I say, Annes Grove is an inspiration and a wonderful slice of Victorian living. My favourite features have to be the magnificent trefoil windows in the livingroom, the winding spiral staircase, and the wonderful gate which I took pleasure in locking and unlocking each day.
